I think you're talking about the large, flat bracket with the big slotted
hole in the middle. You'll find these at the front and at the rear of '74
and later TR6's, and as I understand it, these were used to secure the car
(using some sort of tie-down) during shipping. My '73 doesn't have them.
Thanks for the input...
